Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSXV: SRC) is pleased to commemorate Klondike Gold Discovery Day in the Yukon Territory, Canada. This statutory holiday has been observed since 1911, falling on the third Monday of August each year.
The day marks the historic discovery of gold on Rabbit Creek (now Bonanza Creek) on August 16th, 1896, by Shaaw Tláa (Kate Carmack), her husband George Carmack, and his partners Skookum Jim Mason and Tagish Charlie. This discovery led to the famous Yukon Gold Rush in 1897, transforming Yukon into a Territory of Canada in 1898.
The celebration of Klondike Gold Discovery Day pays tribute to the pioneering spirit and tenacity that defined the early days of the Klondike region, attracting thousands of fortune-seekers and shaping the history of the area. Today, the legacy of the gold rush continues, with modern exploration techniques uncovering new lode gold sources that are reshaping the Yukon’s mining landscape.
Stakeholder Gold Corp. holds a significant claim position in the White Gold District, centered around Ballarat Creek, a historically rich placer gold-producing area. The company aims to uncover the lode gold sources responsible for the abundant gold found in Ballarat Creek through its exploration initiatives on the Skye Zone target.
Led by CEO Christopher Berlet, Stakeholder Gold Corp. is committed to delivering another economically significant gold discovery in the White Gold District. Their exploration efforts in 2024 focus on the Skye Zone target, aiming to uncover new sources of gold in the region.
Stakeholder’s claims are strategically located in the heart of the White Gold District, surrounded by key mining projects like Newmont’s Coffee Gold Project and White Gold Corp.’s regional exploration sites. The company’s dedication to exploration and discovery in this frontier region resonates with the pioneering spirit of the Klondike Gold Rush era.
